Imaginary. Imaginativ



"But only if...
this emptiness of life will no longer be..." 

"But only if... that emptiness of life will no longer be..." At sunset.  Felix - Bihor County

Imaginary tale. By Alexa T

If one day you'll see me,
right in the middle of the street,
then just keep the rhythm
of your subtle and stumbled walk.

And pretend that we're surrounded

by thousands of souls
speaking loud with
harsh voices.

Stunned and amazed,

by the strange view,
gently raise your pale hand,
waving slowly.

Like sitting in a busy station,

where the last bus,
passed along, filled with
emptiness in mind.

And If, one day,

I'll see you,
I'll surely pretend
that we're surrounded,
by an noisy crowd of souls,
in the middle of the freeze of fall.

Then, gently, to spread away,

I'll wave my livid hand,
and I'll catch the rumour buzz
of the agitated street
to liberate the sound
of inner calm...

But only if...

that emptiness of life will no longer be...

Gând Călător: ..."ca un şotron, viaţa"..."Life as a hopscotch*"

Gând Călător: ... "ca un şotron, viaţa"...
"Life as a hopscotch*"...(post reloaded & updated)

"Bucură-te în fiecare moment, pentru că şotronul e la fel ca viaţa, şi nu e despre a fi perfect la fiecare mişcare! Nu e despre a fi rigid şi serios, ci despre a fi flexibil şi a te bucura de fiecare dată când încerci să păşeşti în următorul loc desenat de tine, pentru tine."  "Enjoy every moment, because life is like hopscotch, and it's not about being perfect at every turn! It's not about being rigid and serious, but about being flexible and enjoy whenever you're trying to step into the next room designed by you, for you."  sursa/source of excerpts: https://www.damaideparte.ro/psihologie


"ca un şotron, viaţa"... "Life as a hopscotch"...


"Mai am o scoică şi cîteva pietre,  cum să clădesc din ele o mare şi-un ţărm unde să stau pe nisip şi cum să mă conving că am fost pe un asemenea ţărm urmînd fericit o pasăre care acum nu mă mai lasă să dorm? O scoică şi cîteva pietre şi un nume ciudat pe care nu-l înţelege nimeni şi speranţa mea de-a ajunge să nu-l mai înţeleg nici eu într-o zi. Sărbătoarea s-a terminat,  îmi aştept pedeapsa lîngă tribunele goale,  dar eu am văzut arzînd la amiază un nor şi-am auzit cîntecul care îngenunchea caii sălbateci,  îşi spun, ţărmul acela nu-i simplă poveste,  eu am văzut norul şi-am ascultat cîntecul şi înainte de a mă învinge soarele m-a făcut fericit." Jocul de Octavian Paler

Zi de Toamnă. Fall. September.


Prima lună de toamnă. First month of autumn.




"Who now has no house, will not build one (anymore). Who now is alone, will remain so for long, will wake, and read, and write long letters and back and forth on the boulevards will restlessly wander, while the leaves blow." By Reiner Maria Rilke


"Numele lunii septembrie (latină: September) vine de la cuvântul latinesc septem, șapte, pentru că luna septembrie era a șaptea lună în calendarul roman.
Grecii numeau luna septembrie Boedromion. În România, luna septembrie, popular, se numește Răpciune. Luna septembrie este luna cea mai importantă pentru cei care au trudit pământul, acum fiind culese roadele muncii de peste an."
"September / September (from Latin septem, "seven") or mensis September was originally the seventh of ten months on the ancientRoman calendar that began with March (mensis Martius, "Mars' month"). It had 29 days. After the reforms that resulted in a 12-month year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name. September followed what was originally Sextilis, the "sixth" month, renamed Augustus in honor of the first Roman emperor, and preceded October, the "eighth" month that like September retained its numerical name contrary to its position on the calendar. A day was added to September in the mid-40s BC as part of the Julian calendar reform."

A mix of thoughts at summer end...


Sunset. Near the forest of Băile Felix.

  A mix of thoughts at summer end.... (again),
 but this time in my own lyrics... 

And just because.




And just because... I'm thinking... 

My thought is as a sort of traveller spirit.
With a very earthy soul...

and an infinite affection for all that's humane
 (I acknowledge so)...



I guess...
that I'm really blessed...
For the chance to smile, to feel, to live
Among the critters, small or big...
among those passing seasons by...

Among the feelings, yours or mine,
among the battles of the cruel time...
time that had never stopped since..
                                      and just because...                                         


   All the nature is on my part!

I have no time to have a rest...
I'm not so sure if you'll read a word...
I have no time to rest myself a bit!

I guess...
that I'm really blessed...
Among the trees, colors and good vibes,
among the feelings,  yours or mine...
Life's ironic...
on the road.
You may stumble, even fall...

Just keep your faith,
the love and hope
and all the memories for inner soul.
It's what you'll hear...

All the nature is on your part!

Feel the light, the sunny rays, the shining stars,
love the moon, embrace the infinite blue skies...
Say "cheese" while looking to the golden sun,
and smile at sunset, with no tears in eyes,
to replace the hidden scars... 

Send me joy, share my lucky star...
Just respiro... Always play with a brave heart!...
And think of that:
All the nature is on our side...
We're really blessed.
That's all.
I guess*...

Ilustrate din vacanță. Summer holiday. Greetings (I)

                Summer holiday... "love" ... "but not at first sight"...
                 Greetings from Bihor County*...

                  First of all... some infos about the Bihor county* (where I've spent my recent summer holiday and where I went for a balnear cure, for the almost 25 times till now, actually since 1978...). 

SOME INFOS ABOUT:

* "Bihor (Romanian pronunciation: [biˈhor]  is a county (județ) of Romania, in Crișana , with capital city at Oradea."
"The main tourist attractions in the county are:
  • The city of Oradea.
  • The Apuseni Mountains
  • Băile Felix Resort and
    • The natural Water Lily Reserve of Băile Felix.
      • The Stâna de Vale Resort and the Iada valley.
      • The Caves around Padiș and on the Sighiștel River Valley.
"Romanian Crișana is bounded in Romania by Maramureș to the north, Transylvania** proper to the east, the Banat to the south, and the Hungarian Pannonian Plain to the west. The region consists of the current Romanian counties of Arad (most of it), Bihor and some parts of Sălaj, Satu Mare, and Hunedoara counties. Nowadays it is sometimes considered part of the historical region Transylvania, although it did not fall fully within the boundaries of the historical principality."

**"Transylvania is a historical region in the central part of Romania. Bounded on the east and south by the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended in the west to the Apuseni Mountains; however, the term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also the historical regions of Crișana, Maramureș, and Romanian part of Banat. The region of Transylvania is known for the scenic beauty of its Carpathian landscape and its rich history."  NB. source Wikipedia

"Băile Felix is a thermal spa resort near the commune of Sânmartin in Bihor County, Transylvania, Romania. They are among the best known and most quality thermal spas in the country. Băile Felix is also at a close distance to Oradea, a major city in western Romania." wikipedia

I love it... I really love Felix....

             That's why, I consider this summer holiday as a special love...
      and
 I'm so highly thankful to my mom who builded this emotion, decades after decades, while we used our energy to make long travels till to the heart of the astonishing region of Bihor County...in search of a good cure for health, cheerful time and positivity for soul and heart to the Băile Felix ...

                   My mom is my inspiration... she can be considered as a model of a strong personality in quest of being yourself, despite or, no matter how many difficulties or how many issues can come in our way...


Collage with "Nelumbo nucifera - known by numerous common names including Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, or simply lotus, is one of two species of aquatic plant in the family Nelumbonaceae" and "Nymphaea alba, also known as the European White Waterlily, White Lotus, White Water Rose or Nenuphar, is an aquatic flowering plant of the family Nymphaeaceae." here: "Nymphaea lotus var. thermalis is a plant variety endemic to the thermal water of the Peţa River (Bihor County, Transylvania, Romania). The rivulet and lake have a constant temperature of 30–31°C and the subtropical water lily species is a tertiary relict. It was declared a natural monument in 1931." Source Wikipedia

So...always faithful... or
"Semper Fidelis"***...it can be said...

...this post is dedicated to my mom and to Felix ... 
the place where we always went in quest of happiness... 

 ***"Semper fidelis" is a Latin phrase that means "always faithful" or "always loyal".

Lyrics:
"She is like the lady down the road
Or just the woman up the street,
Like any mother you may know.
To me, she is the one who had it planned
To lead us all to Wonderland,
She always wanted us to go,
And she said:
Don't ever be lonely,
Remember, I'll always care.
Wherever you may be
Remember I will be there.
And like another lady that we know
She has a smile so bright and sweet,
And hair as white as driven snow;
Though life is never easy day to day,
She has a very special way
To make us smile when we are low.
And she says:
Don't ever be lonely
Remember, I'll always care.
Wherever you may be
Remember I will be there.
Don't ever be lonely
Remember, I will be there.
I will be there.
I will be there."

 Source video internet/ excerpt www.katiemelua.com

"I Will Be There" was premiered at the Coronation Gala, at Buckingham Palace on July 11th. 
A beautiful tribute to a protective matriarchal figure, the song was written by Katie's longtime collaborator Mike Batt".
